Ran-Ran's Weird?! Meat Stew and a Lie
Synopsis
At school, Ran is enthusiastically gushing about Tatemoto Pan's egg sandwich while posting on CureSta, when her classmate Takagi, who happens to see her, calls her "a weirdo." Deflated, Ran perks up at the ramen party Yui and Kokone throw for her, but Yui's mother Akiho asks Yui "to deliver a bento to Takagi tomorrow." Yui and the others then learn that Takagi's older brother has gone away to a distant university, and figure that perhaps Takagi is feeling lonely. On the way home, Ran sees Takagi at a small home-style eatery, when Narcistoru appears. Together with Precious and the others, Ran purifies the Mott Ubauzo, and afterward she enters the eatery and tries the nikujaga. When Ran tells Takagi the secret behind the deliciousness of his brother's nikujaga, he smiles at her words. The next day, Ran and the others hand the bento to Takagi at school. Inside is a recipe Ran devised to recreate his brother's nikujaga — made by Akiho.
